Paxil Antidepressant — 

I have been taking Paxil for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder since about the age of 14.  Now, 6 years later, I wish my parents had looked a little deeper before letting me take this medicine.  Yeah, of course if helps the OCD symptoms,  but it's effectiveness is gradually declining, resulting in a gradual increase of dosage size.  If I miss a day of this med I feel horrible (dizzy, upset stomach, hot flashes).  More and more research is coming out about the effects of Paxil.  I worry about the day when I become pregnant and have to stop taking it, knowing the horrible effects of withdrawal from it.  It does help, but not completely.
